Welcome

I have been a professional orchestra, opera and pops conductor for 25 years.  I  am currently the Principal Conductor of the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra and the Principal Guest Conductor of the City of Kyoto Symphony Orchestra.   I have conducted over 175 orchestras worldwide, over 60 world premieres, more than 30 operas, and the majority of available film scores.  As a student of Leonard Bernstein, Jorma Panula, Ilya Musin and Christoph Eschenbach, I have benefitted from some of the best conducting teachers in the world.  

Let me share this wisdom and experience with you.  

Bernstein said there is no more noble act than teaching. That's why I share my lessons learned and experience gained.   Having been a Music Director and Principal Guest Conductor around the world, I am also  aware of the demands and challenges of a conducting profession beyond the music, whether it be management, tax assistance, legal help, travel planning and residency.
